If someone used magic to create the book then they would not need first-hand knowledge of all the stories. We see an example of what magic can do when Rumple gave David the magic potion that David placed on Jefferson’s hat. No one knew where Jefferson was…but, the “magic” led David to Jefferson. The same thing could be true with the book. All someone would need to do is to use magic to create a book with everything in it to break the curse. If magic was involved in the creation of the book then the magic itself would be the thing that created the stories. If that were to be true then a person would use the magic to create the book but they would not have to have firsthand knowledge of all the stories.
Just like the curse had a “fail safe”….the book then becomes a type of “fail safe” although I think it is possible that there could be an additional fail safe that will prevent the total destruction of Storybrooke…kind of like Desmond’s key on LOST. (I’ve been off this site for months but just had to return to see what was being discussed for the season finale.)

It was determined that Desmond – himself – wasm in fact, the failsafe.
So, I’m thinking a ‘person’ will be the real failsafe.
Possibly Henry…???May 9, 2013 at 4:35 pm #192476fairy dustParticipantBoth the key and Desmond were a fail safe…so yes…there could be a human component to it.
May 9, 2013 at 5:21 pm #192487gypsyParticipantAccording to Kelvin, using the failsafe key would ‘make it all go away’ and destroy the island.
It didn’t. All it did was realease the electromagnetic build up, making the need to enter the #’s and push the button, unnecessary.
What actually happened when Des turned the key was – he activated his own ability to shift his conscientiousness and he became “unstuck” in time.
This enabled him to fulfill his destiny, making Des the actual failsafe, not the key.
So, if Regina’s failsafe is anything along those lines, the black diamond won’t really do any harm if the person (Emma?Henry?) who is the actual failsafe does what they need to do to fulfill their destiny and prevent Storybrooke from being destroyed.May 9, 2013 at 5:30 pm #192489fairy dustParticipant@Gypsy wrote:

Desmond’s ability to shift in time and fulfill his destiny was a more perfect fail safe. But, I’m not here to debate LOST, (even though I am a LOSTIE to the CORE)…and it will be interesting to see if there is a human fail safe. I’ve also wondered if Emma will join with Regina and they will use their magic together to save the town. That is probably a stretch but would be interesting.

I, too am a Die Harrd LOSTie 🙂 and I’m not here to debate LOST, either 🙂
Everything I wrote is canon – confirmed by Damon and/or Carlton, years ago.May 9, 2013 at 6:54 pm #192516fairy dustParticipant@Gypsy wrote:

May 9, 2013 at 6:57 pm #192520gypsyParticipantNot too sure what you meant by that (still in full form), but, hey, you enjoy the finale, too 🙂
